As part of a series on Ramadan, we caught up with some Muslims across Redbridge to see how they are observing the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
Ramadan is the Arabic name for the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and runs from April 13 until May 12 this year.
While last year's Ramadan fell during the first lockdown and mosques were closed, this time around they are open but with some restrictions in place.
